Just look at the population implosion in the Baltics since the end of the USSR:
Can we put this in the Black Book of Capitalism?
One of the major funding sources for the Baltics was ship and rail traffic. Because they have ports which aren't frozen over part of the year a lot of transportation for exports from Russia and Belarus used to go through there. Well not anymore. Their railways have been scrapping rail cars, locomotives, and firing people. And I doubt a lot of people want to use their massive ports either.
White husband found to have murdered his Chinese wife and dumped her corpse in the mountains. He also regularly beat her.
Typical White supremacist husbands and their self hating Asian women. The kids are going to grow up traumatized and self hating too.

There was a period of time prior to the european imposed century of humiliatio, where Chinese women considered going with non Chinese men to be the equivalent of bestiality, like an elvish woman being raped by an Uruk-Hai. Not saying it’s good or bad, but it does display the level of sacrifice Chinese princesses did for their country when the Han Dynasty needed to buy time against the Xiongnu by sending Chinese royalty as part of a marriage pact.
Whither, Germany.
why do the Anglo americans have such little faith in their ideals of free speech and free press?
Free speech favors the strong. People forget that even during the teething days of the United States they had the Alien and Sedition Act because major powers like Britain and France sought to influence domestic politics through bribery and soft power projection. As the scale tilts the other way you’ll see more and more politicians promoting censorship against perceived Chinese influences in the name of national security.
Present situation in the Red Sea in-a-nutshell:
Put aside the individual aspect, this kind of political marriage should not be automatically regarded humiliating, especially should not be connected to anything of ethnical. Some of them are arranged with one party being under threat such as the marriages before Han Wudi, but many others are not.
Counter examples:
- Qing dynasty routinely married imperial princesses to Mongols when Qing had the upper hand for most of time. Manchu aren't Mongol ethnically, the princesses grown up in Beijing living a life indentical to Han Chinese far from Mongolic life style.
- Tang dynasty's marriage to Tibeten Kings were often under pressure, but the marriages to Tujue tribes are often the opposite.
- Even marriages during Han dynasty were often on good terms especially with the subjugated southern Xiongnu. The famous example is Liu Yuan (刘渊) . Who tried to restore Han dynasty on the claim that his family had long history of marrying pricesses from Han. His tribe was always loyal to Han ever since the split of Xiongnu more than 300 years ago. This is the same as Mongols marriage to Qing.
- Yuan dynasty frequently marries Mongol princesses to its vassal Kings. The Korean courts were full of Mongol princesses.
- Marriages between royal families among European monarchs are even more frequent and political driven (for land). One can't say all the parties marrying their daughters are humiliated. An example similar to Liu Yuan (above) is the Russian claim to be successor to east Roman empire on the ground of maternal lineage.

“Nope! 200km between the random towns of Bakersfield and Merced! But we’ll get there!”
